| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | During this time when I was studying in high school it was a regular feature that so many sparrows used to come near mummy and eat from the her plate of breakfast and they were free to do so. Around 8-10 sparrows were having there nest in our house in the roofs. Whole day we can see group of sparrow playing in sand then taking bath in water. In the evening they used to fly in big groups all around the village.
Some time there eggs used to fall from their nests in roofs and even sometimes their small baby birds fall from nest and died as there was no way to put them back in the nest. We used to feel very sad at that time. These birds never used to irritate us unlike the crows. |
